12 - CQP crankset, 177.5mm. 74/110mm bcd. A divet was hand filed into the drive-side crank (for ring clearance ?), and the spider needs to be replaced. I got them with the divet, and have ridden the cranks on different bikes for about 10 years. I'm 6'4", 225 lbs and ride xc. Plenty strong and they are super stiff. 177.5mm crank arms give noticeably more low speed torque when riding off-road. Replace the old spider (it's a little bent) and these are good to go.

I also have access to about 15-20 curved blade rigid forks made by Burley. They are chromoly, rim brake only and well-made. They're sort of an odd ball item these days because Burley has gone into making trailers only I believe.

Not exactly parts related, but I do have the bicycle dealer edition of Fat Tire Flyer from 1987.
The magazine is in decent shape. If anyone is interested let me know. I'm open to trading something for it.

On another note I am seeking a 58/94mm bcd spider for a set of cooks brothers cranks.
I think I also need a shim or adapter of some sort to make them work. If anyone can help me out here I'd me most obliged!

You might want to be specific for which Cooks. IIRC, the F was the only one that had a removable spider but that wouldn't have needed an adapter.

I am honestly not sure what model these are, but I need to find a 58/94mm bcd spider if possible. Does anyone know offhand if the Surly Mr Whirly chainring spider will work on these cranks ? Do I need an adapter of some sort ? If so, any ideas on where to find them. I did see Cooks Bro's has a site, but I have not recieved a response to my email inquiry.

Linkage fork. German Answer Kilo (doesn't have to be high end model), Amp F-4 (non carbon is fine) Girvin/Noleen do not need to apply here.
Decent Square Taper BB. I'm planning on buying a Phil Wood if nothing comes up.
1" Threadless suspension fork for the Ventana frame above. Thinking about selling/trading it complete instead of as a frame.

Other nifty stuff. I'm a modern retro - I run old Scott bullmoose bars with Paul Thumbies next to disc brakes and full suspension. I'm hoping to do that again with the next bike too.

Ritchey WCS Z-Max 1.7 folding tyre, never been on a bike.
Rithchey WCS Prolite bar Gold finish. Most of the decals are worn off, bar still fine though.
Mavic 117 SUP rim on a American Classic front hum. Used 10 times at most, braking surface still anodised.
Gipiemme Carbon G-124 Saddle (not sure if its retro, but I used it once years ago (2000) and found it a bit harsh for my fat ass)

Specialized Ground Control Reissue

I just bought a 2007 Stumpjumper Classic reissue used with about 5 miles on it. It was donated to a shelter and advertised on Craigslist. I was honest with the guy over the phone about what he had, but he said he wanted to sell it for $150 anyway. I almost crapped my pants on the 15-mile drive down there, but I got there before anyone else did & plunked down the cash.

I want to convert this into a cool cruiser, and I don't care too much about period correctness, but the drivetrain on this thing needs to get off of this and on to my Ventana.

SO

Have:

Pair of Specialized Ground Control tires from 2007 Stumpjumper Classic. About 5 miles on them.

Want:

NOS or excellent condition drivetrain for this bike. (I want to take off the Sram X.0 crap and the XT crank, and substitute a drivetrain that will fit the theme of the bike.)

OR

Some good quality, high-rise Bullmoose bars for my '85 Stumpjumper.

OR

?

EDIT: I know there were only 200 sets of these made. Feel free to make trade offers, but I'm going to hold out for a good trade. If I decide to sell them, I'll take out a $2 ad I promise, so call off your dogs, Soup Nazis.

XC Expert Thumbies and 1" Judy

Have:
-Set of very good condition Suntour XC Expert Thumb shifters
-1" Threadless RS Judy Long travel fork. I was ridden for 1 or 2 years, then has been on wife's bike since with almost no rides. Assume it needs rebuilt, and maybe it won't.
-New in Bag Hite Rite
-1965 or 66 Schwinn Corvette II project frame/fork/stem/bars/cranks. VERY ROUGH shape

Wanted:
XTR V brakes
27.2 layback post
Any other offers considered, what do you have collecting dust.

Ritchey Timberwolf

i have an old, i think an 87, ritchey timberwolf thats a 18 inch frame. i'd like to trade it for a smaller, 16 inch, ritchey frame. it must be a ritchey. even though this ones way to big for me, it rides just too sweet.

Have: Specialized BX25 wheels laced to Exage hubs; black rims. The front wheel brake service looks like the previous owner hardly ever used it! Rear wheel the black anodizing on the braking service has gone through most of the black anodizing, but these wheels are in fantastic shape. No rust, spin true.

Have: OEM Specialized Ground Control "Black Max" 26 x 1.95 tires. These tires are in phenomenal shape, and you can tell they never saw a corner! Hairs are still standing crisp and tall on all but the knobs on the center of the tire. This is the Black Max version, the one that still has an actual sidewall, but it is colored black.

Wheels and tires came from a 1993 Rockhopper that looks like it has been sitting on the garage hooks I got it off of since the week it was purchased!

This bike is going to be a rider, so I thought I'd offer them up for trade in case someone that is looking for some "used minty" parts for their restoration ride.

Want: Make offers, but basically want a replacement wheelset and tires- VRC or Modern; this Rockhopper is going to be seeing Western Michigan singletrack.

As a former West-Michigander (Muskegon) I'll do my best to explain. If you've watched this forum for a period of time you might have noticed that there is a difference between "vintage" and "old". Vintage connotes something that when new, was valuable/rare/interesting/unique in some way that by virtue of being old becomes even more desirable. Old is something which when even was new was run of the mill and/or low end and by "virtue" of being old becomes less desirable. Most of what gets interest on this forum are bikes and parts that have some historical value and/or were hand-built in very small numbers.

What you have on your hands is a wheelset/bike that falls firmly in the "old" category. The Rockhopper was on the low end of what Specialized offered and was built in super high numbers. If that wheel was immaculate your posting would generate at best a polite non-comment. But frankly, that wheel is far from immaculate. The cassette looks really rusty and the brake surface is worn through. On a forum where clean, hand-built bikes that retailed for 2G+ in 1993 get routinely trashed (see the Klein thread for my a recent, hilarious example) a rusty wheel off a bike that retailed for $500 is likely to see a bit of abuse.

Not to disparage your ride or anything, any bike out on the trails is a good thing. Its just not going to be something that most on this forum are going to want to pay the shipping to acquire. I'd say keep the wheels and ride them until they give up the ghost. Yankee Springs was always my WM fave for that.

Well, personally, I have nothing against rockhoppers. I think they make perfectly solid riders and commuters. I just think that wheel is in bad shape and wheels are expensive to ship. Probably more expensive than the wheel is worth. If I had it, I would sell the tire and throw the rest of it in the trash or donate it the whole thing. The tire itself is in good shape but it's blackwall and also narrow.

XTR Octalink BB English 112.5mm can be m950 or m952.
XT m750 crankset 5 bolt (preferred) or 4 bolt, this was the last square taper XT model. Cranks can be in bad shape I just need the spider.
I am trying to switch my kids buck shaver to 165mm cranks without spending too much more money. I have the arms but somehow missed the last of the bbs...

Szazbo frame is in good condition. Size "Medium" with a 23" top tube. Derr hanger was tweeked when I got it and I had it straightened by a professional mechanic using the proper Park tool. Looks straight and solid. Finish is ok but it does have some scraps and scuffs. Decals are rubbing off in places. The shock spring has a little rust showing through the finish. I'll also include the Judy DH (80mm travel), Control Tech post and Aheadset headset. Fork looks like it needs a rebuild and new elastomers and the finish is bubbling a little on the front so the finish is probably on its way out. Post looks solid with some rusting on the bolts and the upper 4-5" are faded more than the lower portion.
